  abstract = {{O}ne of the main objectives of the {ANTARES} telescope is the search for point- like neutrino sources. {B}oth the pointing accuracy and the angular resolution of the detector are important in this context and a reliableway to evaluate this performance is needed. {I}n order to measure the pointing accuracy of the detector, one possibility is to study the shadow of the {M}oon, i. e. the deficit of the atmospheric muon flux from the direction of the {M}oon induced by the absorption of cosmic rays. {A}nalysing the data taken between 2007 and 2016, the{M}oon shadow is observed with 3.5s statistical significance. {T}he detector angular resolution for downwardgoing muons is 0.73. +/- 0.14.. {T}he resulting pointing performance is consistent with the expectations. {A}n independent check of the telescope pointing accuracy is realised with the data collected by a shower array detector onboard of a ship temporarily moving around the {ANTARES} location.},
